    Strange experience with 5150 last night

    Hails Guys...
    i went to a friend of mine home made studio
    pretty crap, very small place.
    only 4 people will fit the place, and VERY tight...
    i wanted to test the 5150 AGAIN but with more output
    when i hit the pre gain on 6 and the post gain on 4, almost going to 5 ... ig gave me a little glassier than the usual tone.. and kinda distorting (lead channel) the signal...
    donīt know if it was because of the room, or if thereīs something wrong with the amp Or the cabinet.
    cabinet is a 4x12 marshall 1960.
    my guess is that it was the room.. bu ti suspect it can be the amp, or the cabinet...
    donīt know
    iīm worry about it now.
    any clues^?
    Hails

    gonna take some pics and post Them
    another thread, of course.

          The room just like certain woods in a guitar, vibrate and what not and will affect your overall sound that you are hearing. Does it sound like it should outside of the room?

                We're gonna rename you 'With Glassy Distortion!! hahahahaha WGD

                Sometimes, the louder you crank an amp, the less gain you actually need.
                Maybe you should put the master up to 5 and back the gain down to 4 1/2.

                  Maybe the power tubes were starting to break up? Usually when you push the power tubes more, you get a glassy, more compressed tone.
